There is quite a bit to be said for innocence. People have their opinions about it, no matter what flavor of it, and they love to share it.
I offer to you a bit by Ben Stein, he of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off fame (Bueller…. Bueller… Buellerr). In his article, he speaks passionately, succinctly and unequivocally – not of innocence, but of innocents.
Enjoy.
